Rally HQ uses real-time technology. When a scorekeeper taps a button, your screen updates instantly — no refreshing needed.

Works on any device with a browser.

3 Predict the Champion

Call the winner — just for bragging rights

On the tournament page, pick which team you think will win it all. Guests pick with one tap, no account; sign in and your pick lands on a named leaderboard.

Make your pick before the bracket locks

Picks close once the playoff bracket is set, so get yours in during pool play.

Watch the leaderboard

A correct call is worth 50 points — no money, just bragging rights. When the finals are decided, the leaderboard settles and winners are crowned.

4 Follow Your Team

Get pinged when your team plays

Open a team's page and tap Follow to get a push notification about 10 minutes before each of their matches and again when a final score posts. No signup, one tap — your phone just needs to allow notifications.

5 Understanding Standings

Pool standings show how each team is performing during group play.

W-L

Wins and losses (e.g., 3-1 = 3 wins, 1 loss).

+/-

Point differential — total points scored minus points allowed.

Seed

Projected playoff position based on current standings.

Tiebreakers

When teams have the same record, set record (sets won vs. lost) breaks the tie, then point differential.

Advancing

Top teams from each pool advance to the bracket. Usually the top 1–2 teams per pool make playoffs.

6 After the Tournament

The Recap

When a tournament finishes, a Recap tab appears with a champion share card, final placements, and a "by the numbers" summary of the event. Long-press the card to save it, or use the share link to send the results to anyone.

7 Following a Series

Multi-tournament events

If a tournament is part of a series, you'll see a Part of [series] → link at the top. The series page has its own standings, schedule, and a Rankings board.

Player rankings

Series rankings are player-level, not team-level — teams re-form each event, but each player accumulates season points based on how they finish across the series. Toggle Season vs All-time, and check the predictions leaderboard for series-long pick'em.
